1541 low level programming problem

Hello,
I have a problem that I don't understand. I tried the
following code for the 1541 :

    jsr $F97E       ; MOTOR_ON
    jsr $fe00       ; SET_READ_MODE
loop
    BIT $1C00       ; SYNC signal
    BMI loop        ; not yet found?
    LDA $1C01       ; read byte
    lda $1c00
    eor #$08
    sta $1c00
    CLV
-
    bvc -
    lda $1c01
    jmp loop


I expect (if a floppy is inserted) that the LED flickers, but it does not. If I remove the "bvc" command, it works like expected. Has anybody a idea what I have forgotten to initialize ?

(Excuse my lame posting skillz)

This is from my loader:
waitsync:   bit VIA2_T1C_H
            bpl wsynctmout
            bit VIA2_PRB
            bmi waitsync
            bit VIA2_PRA
            clv
            bvc *
            ldx #$00
            lda VIA2_PRA; is never $00 but usually $52 (header) or $55 (data)
            clv
            rts

It's pretty long ago, but i guess the read access to $1c01 (VIA2_PRA) after the sync and _before_ the first clv is mandatory for some reason.

May i ask what your experiments will eventually lead to? :)

this experiments have no real aim, its just for getting more knowledge programming the 1541.

But the thing getting even more strange:
The following code did not work, but I see no really difference to your code:

loop
    BIT $1C00       ; SYNC signal
    bmi loop        ; not yet found?
    bit $1c01
    clv
    bvc *
    lda $1c01
    clv

    ldy #$20
    ldx #$00
-
    inx
    bne -
    dey
    bne -

    lda $1c00
    eor #$08
    sta $1c00

    jmp loop

Have you executed an SEI and are you really on a 1541 (and not a 1571 in 2mhz mode or so)?

I am on a 1541-II and i have do a "sei" before.
I have the feeling that anything is missing for reading bytes
(because the sync bit works in write mode, too)

Hmm, if you're on a valid formatted track i don't see a reason for the routine to fail. It's stuck in the bvc loop, right?

Also from my loader:
            lda #CB2_OUTPUT_HIGH | CB1_IRQ_ON_NEG_ACTIVE_EDGE | CA2_OUTPUT_HIGH | CA1_IRQ_ON_NEG_ACTIVE_EDGE
            sta VIA2_PCR

This is an lda #$ee sta $1c0c, maybe that fixes it?

Also, I'd add a wait loop after turning the motor on. It takes some time until it has 100% speed.

Oh and for searching a sync, you can use the routine at $F556.
